Overview

Class representing an HTTP cookie.

In addition to its specific fields and methods, a Cookie instance is a delegator to the array of its values.

See RFC 2965.

Examples of use

cookie1 = CGI::Cookie.new("name", "value1", "value2", ...)
cookie1 = CGI::Cookie.new("name" => "name", "value" => "value")
cookie1 = CGI::Cookie.new('name'     => 'name',
                          'value'    => ['value1', 'value2', ...],
                          'path'     => 'path',   # optional
                          'domain'   => 'domain', # optional
                          'expires'  => Time.now, # optional
                          'secure'   => true,     # optional
                          'httponly' => true      # optional
                          )

cgi.out("cookie" => [cookie1, cookie2]) { "string" }

name     = cookie1.name
values   = cookie1.value
path     = cookie1.path
domain   = cookie1.domain
expires  = cookie1.expires
secure   = cookie1.secure

httponly = cookie1.httponly

cookie1.name     = 'name'
cookie1.value    = ['value1', 'value2', ...]
cookie1.path     = 'path'
cookie1.domain   = 'domain'
cookie1.expires  = Time.now + 30
cookie1.secure   = true
cookie1.httponly = true

Class Method Summary

.new(name_string, *value) ⇒ Cookie constructor

Create a new Cookie object.
.parse(raw_cookie)

Parse a raw cookie string into a hash of cookie-name=>Cookie pairs.

Instance Attribute Summary

#domain rw

Domain for which this cookie applies, as a String
#expires rw

Time at which this cookie expires, as a Time
#httponly rw

True if this cookie is httponly; false otherwise.
#httponly=(val) rw

Set whether the Cookie is a httponly cookie or not.
#name rw

Name of this cookie, as a String
#path rw

Path for which this cookie applies, as a String
#secure rw

True if this cookie is secure; false otherwise.
#secure=(val) rw

Set whether the Cookie is a secure cookie or not.
#value rw

Returns the value or list of values for this cookie.
#value=(val) rw

Replaces the value of this cookie with a new value or list of values.

Instance Method Summary

#inspect

A summary of cookie string.
#to_s

Convert the Cookie to its string representation.

Constructor Details

.new(name_string, *value) ⇒ `Cookie` .new(options_hash) ⇒ `Cookie`

Create a new Cookie object.

name_string

The name of the cookie; in this form, there is no #domain or #expiration. The #path is gleaned from the SCRIPT_NAME environment variable, and #secure is false.

*value

value or list of values of the cookie

options_hash

A Hash of options to initialize this Cookie. Possible options are:

name: the name of the cookie. Required.
value: the cookie’s value or list of values.
path: the path for which this cookie applies. Defaults to the the value of the SCRIPT_NAME environment variable.
domain: the domain for which this cookie applies.
expires: the time at which this cookie expires, as a Time object.
secure: whether this cookie is a secure cookie or not (default to false). Secure cookies are only transmitted to HTTPS servers.

httponly

whether this cookie is a HttpOnly cookie or not (default to false). HttpOnly cookies are not available to javascript.

These keywords correspond to attributes of the cookie object.
